Advertisers typically prohibit graphic designers from signing their works because the purpose of a graphic design is to draw attention to an advertised product or service, not to the designer. Nonetheless, it is better that graphic designers not remain anonymous. Anonymity undermines effective graphic design by making it difficult to hold designers accountable for their work.

Summarize Argument
The author concludes that it’s better for graphic designers to not remain anonymous. This is because anonymity makes it difficult to hold designers accountable for their work.

Identify Conclusion
The conclusion is the author’s assessment about whether graphic designers should remain anonymous: “[I]t is better that graphic designers not remain anonymous.”

A
Prohibitions against graphic designers’ signing their works are common in advertising.
This is part of the context. The author’s argument concerns whether this prohibition on revealing one’s authorship of a design is a good idea.
B
In advertising, the purpose of a graphic design is to focus attention on an advertised product or service rather than on the designer.
This is part of the context. This is why advertisers typically prohibit graphic designers from revealing their authorship of a design.
C
It is not desirable that graphic designers remain anonymous.
This is a paraphrase of the conclusion.
D
Graphic design is made less effective by anonymity on the part of graphic designers.
This is something implied by the premise of the argument. But this doesn’t capture the author’s conclusion about lack of anonymity being better.
E
Holding graphic designers accountable for their work is difficult when those designers are anonymous.
This is the premise of the argument.
